Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper ribs and seeds removed, diced
  • 1/2 yellow onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo chopped
  • 1 teaspoon adobo sauce from chipotle peppers
  • 2 o egg roll wrappers
  • 1 egg beaten

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook bell peppers, onions and garlic in a skillet until the peppers are tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in chicken, cumin, salt, chili powder, chipotle peppers and adobo sauce. Continue cooking until chicken is cooked through. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • To assemble the egg rolls: using one egg roll wrapper with one point towards you, place 2 tablespoons of filling about an inch from the point closest to you. Working away from you, fold the wrapper over the filling. Next fold in both sides. Dip a pastry brush into the egg and brush the edges. Continue rolling to seal completely. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.
  • To fry them, heat about 1 inch of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Drop a tiny piece of a wrapper into the oil, if it sizzles the oil is ready. Fry egg rolls until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towel lined plate. Sprinkle with salt. Serve.

Notes

Note you can also freeze these. I'd recommend placing them in a single layer on a baking sheet and then placing them in the freezer until frozen. Then transfer to resealable freezer bags.
Enjoy!
